PARIS — Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has emerged as the frontrunner to sign RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomandé after the Ivorian international reportedly agreed to personal terms on a five-year deal. Following a standout debut season in the Bundesliga, the 19-year-old winger has become one of the most sought-after young talents in European football.
Diomandé, who joined Leipzig in July 2025 for €20 million, quickly established himself as a key figure in the Bundesliga, scoring 12 goals and providing seven assists across 33 league appearances in the 2025-26 campaign.
